David Heavenor is a Scottish singer songwriter based in Edinburgh having written well over 100 songs to date, the majority of which are featured in this collection also featuring the writer’s description of the people, events and settings for their inspiration. His subjects range widely but include the death of aid worker Karen Woo in Afghanistan; ANC activist Joe Slovo; the conflict in Syria; lost love; found love; religious bigotry; war and peace; spirituality; existential angst and writer’s block. He has been called 'the mystery man of Scottish music' by David Scott, BBC Radio presenter and musician in Scottish Band The Pearlfishers. Journalist and broadcaster Tom Morton writing in The Scotsman called his song Linger and Go ’a masterpiece of songwriting.’ Other plaudits for songs appearing on his first album Private (The Night Visitors) come from Ricky Ross of Scottish band Deacon Blue who called Jenny and the Cold Caller ’One of the best songs ever written’ and included it as one of his ’Tracks of My Years’ on The Ken Bruce Show on BBC Radio 2. In his 2022 Memoir Walking Back Home he called him ’the best songwriter I know.’ David’s next album Winter’s Children appeared in August 2001 on the Glasgow based Sticky Music label. In his Scotsman review Tom Morton described it: ’ Songs made to last. Delicate and full of diffident power. The cool delivery remains somewhere between Al Stewart and Nick Drake, the unexpected guitar runs, the lyrics you can’t quite pin down, but which echo round you brain, shifting meaning, ornate yet direct, complex and with an overwhelming sense of Edinburgh in winter.’ Senior BBC Music producer Stewart Cruickshank said: ’ A beautiful album in every respect...’David’s track I’m Watching Rosanna from his album Winter’s Children was included in a 49 track, 2 disc compilation Seriously Scottish by The Scottish Music Centre showcasing the best in contemporary Scottish Music. A live solo version of his song Candide was also included in a CD marking the 25th Anniversary of Radio Scotland.
